Edit: What do you judge them for?

    I really love how there’s one conservative going through the comments and ascribing a solitary downvote to any mention of conservative values, like trucks, crosses, Cybertrucks (cause it’s super specific) and the like.

    Hey asshole. How does it feel to be part of a community that hates your fucking guts?

      I feel you— but also what does this declaration of hate garner us? Is it anything beyond the base tribalistic fervor: “we are strong fear us”. It makes sense if we were in person— but I fear this is how we create silos.

      If the conservatives that are we’re are continuously assaulted directly then perhaps they’ll leave— and while personally I may feel that would make the discourse more favorable, they do not disappear; they leave and find a more homogeneous pasture. We shouldn’t isolate ourselves lest we contribute to make debate a toxic no man’s land.

    Ford Ranger drivers, and to a lesser extent large dual-cab utes in general. Cashed up bogans to a man. They just have a reckless disregard for other road users and take up far too much space. They’re all registered as ‘commercial’, so they’re a tax dodge as well.

        I don’t. Just the dickheads driving them. It’s beyond me why they choose that particular vehicle, but there’s definitely a pattern.

          Sounds like local subculture thing. Rangers are the small trucks that polite truck guys own around me.

            Probably. It’s a fairly different market in Aus than in the US, although we’re seeing an increase in Dodge RAMs and the like being imported, usually by the same cashed-up bogans that have apparently decided that Rangers aren’t compensatory enough. I realise even those are fairly ‘small’ by US standards. Y’all are insane with your trucks as daily drivers.

    I try not to judge people for what they’re wearing or carrying, but sometimes it’s difficult.

    Just today, I saw a guy in all black, sunglasses, black cap, etc, standing waving a Don’t Tread on Me flag.

    Beside a Pride parade.

    In Edinburgh, Scotland.

    WTAF?

      You see some fantastic outfits in Edinburgh. I think it’s the inability of the locals to accept that sometimes it’s hot. They don’t really get the idea.

      The best I ever saw was someone wearing shorts, white trainers, and a black bomber jacket. Very much giving off a vibe “it’s bloody hot outside but I only own the one coat, so I’m wearing it”

      Cops most of all, tells me they’re not only an asshole but an asshole who doesn’t even know what Frank Castle is all about despite rocking the logo

        For real. I’m willing to bet most don’t even know it’s from the Punisher, they just like it because it’s a skull, or because they saw the word “Punisher” on the sales tag and thought that was cool.

    III percent sticker on a car or a shirt with that logo. It might as well be a swastika and they are so open about it. I’m so fucking sick of Nazis.

      Same thing for me in Canada.

      You cannot seriously buy into all of the values that Canada, as a country, has demonstrated for the last several hundred years.

      You have to be the biggest ignoramus in the world to ignore how many social problems Canada (as an entity) is responsible for and fails to address in a meaningful ongoing way.

      Yeah, I find that shit offensive. It should be a private matter. Just being comfortable allowing it to be seen, even if you aren’t outgoing about it, tells me we aren’t compatible. I’ll still treat you with respect, but I know we are very different people.

      Now, if you’re the kind of asshole who will ring my doorbell about it, I will tell you to “get fucked,” and close the door. The sheer arrogance is astounding.
